OTHER SAFETY TIPS FOR YOUR VISION FITNESS ELLIPTICAL TRAINER CAUTION! If you experience chest pains, nausea, dizziness or shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately and consult your physician before continuing. • Do not wear loose clothing that might catch on any part of the Elliptical Trainer.
It is easy to move your Elliptical Trainer by rolling it on the front transport wheels. Dual-Action Elliptical Trainers -- X6000DA & X6200HRC/DA -- are more easily moved by rolling on their rear transport wheels. PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME It is important that you place your Elliptical Trainer in a comfortable and inviting room.
Your Elliptical Trainer uses a wall-mount external power supply. Use only the power supply supplied with your Elliptical Trainer. If you misplace this power supply, please contact your authorized VISION FITNESS dealer for an original replacement. Use of the wrong power supply may cause damage to your Elliptical Trainer.
FOOT POSITION (MODEL X6000DA ONLY) Your VISION FITNESS Elliptical Trainer has a large foot pad, offering you a variety of foot positions. When using your Elliptical Trainer you may notice that your heel raises off the foot pad. This is a normal ‘heel toe plant’ walking or running motion and you should not try to prevent this.
Page 13
FOOT POSITION (MODELS X6200HRC & X6200HRC/DA) You have a choice of two different foot positions: STEP or GLIDE. To adjust, simply pull up on the adjustment knob, turn counter-clockwise, then move the toe piece forward or back. To lock, turn knob back clockwise.
FOLDING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER NOTE: It is important to always follow the correct order of steps when folding your Elliptical Trainer. STEP 1: Lift up both flaps on the side cover casing. STEP 2: On the side of each Guide Rail you will find a decal indicating the correct position of the wheel center points.
Page 15
STEP 3: One Pedal Arm will now be lower than the other. Simultaneously lift both the lowest Pedal Arm and the Guide Rail upon which it is resting to the vertical position (A). The lock pin protruding from the Guide Rail should now be aligned with the lock receiving mechanism on the underside of the Pedal Arm.
Page 16
STEP 4: To unfold your Elliptical Trainer, push the recessed lock button found on the underside of one Guide Rail (A). Carefully lower both the Pedal Arm and Guide Rail to the floor simultaneously (B). Repeat these steps with the other Pedal Arm and Guide Rail to completely unfold your Elliptical Trainer for use.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER Our Elliptical Trainers are designed to be reliable and easy to use. If, however, you have a problem, these troubleshooting steps may indicate the cause. PROBLEM: The Console does not light up (Model X6000DA only). SOLUTION: Batteries are too weak; replace them. PROBLEM: The Elliptical Trainer appears to work but there is no resistance change.
TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR HEART RATE MONITOR CHEST STRAP PROBLEM: No pulse reading appears. SOLUTION: There may be a poor connection between the contact pads and skin. Remoisten the electrodes. SOLUTION: Transmitter is not properly positioned. Reposition the chest strap. SOLUTION: Verify that the distance between transmitter and receiver is not beyond the recommended range of 36 inches.
COMMON ELLIPTICAL TRAINER QUESTIONS Q: Are the sounds my Elliptical Trainer make normal? A: Our Elliptical Trainers are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade European bearings and top quality belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear some slight mechanical noises from the drive train.
Page 43
Q: What kind of routine maintenance is required? A: We use sealed bearings throughout our Elliptical Trainers so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the Elliptical Trainer after each use. Q: Will the magnets wear out over time? A: No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their braking force indefinitely in this application.
LABOR - ONE YEAR VISION FITNESS shall cover the Labor cost for the repair of the device for a period of one year from the date of original purchase, so long as the device remains in the possession of the original owner.

DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM STRETCH FIRST Before using your VISION FITNESS Elliptical Trainer, it is best to spend a few minutes during a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury.

SEATED TOE TOUCH Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do not lock your knees. Extend your fingers towards your toes and hold for a count of 15. Do not bounce. Sit upright again. Repeat for a total of 8 repetitions.
How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your Vision Fitness Product to prepare for racing, you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity.
Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your VISION FITNESS Elliptical Trainer console provides you with several readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time.
SAMPLE GOALS: Goal-setting is a popular motivational technique. It’s important to set goals and reward yourself when initiating a new exercise program because you’re attempting to break current patterns and form a new habit. Whether you use this technique or another, make fitness a priority in your life.
